Antinatalism = Anti-women

Analysis

I saw a post with a video on here a few days ago, where in the video, the woman is saying antinatalism is basically anti-women and the concept that children do not consent to being born is stupid since it’s impossible to ask a baby if they want to be born.

That’s interesting. I understand feminism is about women having equal rights, having the ability to choose whether to reproduce or not. But when I asked my mother why she created me instead of having an abortion (she had me at a young age) she straight up told me it was her choice to keep the pregnancy and it was her *RIGHT* to reproduce. Which…sure, that is your right… but what about my rights? Lol

I did not consent to being born nor consent to the suffering imposed on me. And how is it feminist to create more humans with female anatomy to suffer oppression under the patriarchy?

The women in the video said something like, “not wanting human lives created is specifically hating women, hating the female anatomy, hating things women exclusively do, it’s just not having respect for motherhood”. All this says to me is that she does not understand antinatalism in the slightest. Antinatalism is not anti-feminism or anti-women, this philosophy doesn’t target only those who have the ability to give birth, the moral question is posed to ALL humans regardless of sex or gender.
